There's nothing specific to Buildroot here, it's just a matter of applying a patch just like with any other source code. Just in case you're not familiar with applying patches, here is how you can do that in a nutshell: 1) Fetch the patch wget -O matchbox-fix.patch http://git.buildroot.net/buildroot/patch/?id=51ef5b81224c243aa7f937c4690b1a120c81ccbc 2) Go the Buildroot directory cd /the/path/to/your/buildroot/directory/ 3) Apply the patch cat /the/path/to/the/patch/matchbox-fix.path | patch -p1 Does that answer your question ?
